No matter where you look, color is all around us. And it can
affect our mood positively or negatively, not to mention that of your employees
and customers. When you are in the midst of a commercial
build out project in Bloomington, you might be thinking about paint colors
and how they can affect the mood of your employees and customers. Read on for
some information about some popular color choices and how they can influence
people’s moods.
Yellow
Most people associate yellow with positive and optimistic
feelings. But yellow is one of those colors that most people either love or
hate. So we recommend that, if you want yellow in your new commercial space,
you confine it to the bathroom or kitchen and just stick with that color in one
room.
Blue
Blue is a people-pleaser. It is relaxing but it also does
not sacrifice productivity. The color blue is a popular choice for many when they
have a commercial build out project going on. And blue comes in so many
different and varying shades that you are sure to find the perfect one for your
new commercial space.
Red
Red is a color that most businesses should avoid. Studies
show that the color red can make people feel more aggressive and impulsive. It
can also reduce a person’s ability for critical thinking. Try not to use this
color in your commercial build out project, but if you do, confine it to one
accent wall and that’s it.
Green
Green is a lot like blue in that it is a relaxing and
soothing color, mostly because it brings the outdoor environment to mind
(think: trees and grass). It can also encourage creative thinking, so use it
for the offices of your innovative thinkers, like your marketing or graphic
design department.
Orange
Studies have shown that people associate orange with a good
value. So if your commercial build out includes retail space, you might want to
consider this color as an option. It might not work for an entire room but it
will work well for an accent wall or two. That way, your customers will start
to associate your business with a good value!
